ABSTRACT: The sharing, collaborative, peer (P2P), access, gig or on-demand economy has been termed as the absolute social, economic and legal disruption. An idea which started off as a communitarian, non-monetized, sharing project has grown into a fully monetized, vibrant and, occasionally, wildly capitalistic marketplace.

Borders in EU Law

Lorenzo Schiano di Pepe, Jean Monnet Chair in International and European Law of the Sea, University of Genova

ABSTRACT: The status and the concept itself of borders under European Union law are currently under scrutiny due to a number of different dynamics, including the so-called migratory crisis and, more recently, Brexit. Since borders or, rather, the suppression thereof, have been a defining factor in the establishment and building up of European integration as a political process, it is particularly appropriate to have a look at some of the main legal implications that they raise after the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Treaties of Rome.
